Default How will it look?

I want to put 18x10.5 ZO6 wheels(rear) with a 58mm offset, and 18X9.5 with a 57mm offset on the front of my SS. How will they look and fit I dont want them to stick out, but I don't want them to rub to bad either. The car is lowered with an eibach pro kit. Thanks the tires will be 305/35/18 rears and 275/35/18 fronts. Anybody with close to the same set up let me know how it looks an fits. THANKS

I'm wanting to know the same thing. I'm probably going to run a spacer if I can't find anything closer to 50mm. The only differance is my car isn't lowered and I want to run 285's up front. I live in north Louisiana, what part are you from?

They definitely will not stick out. I personally feel those offsets are too big, they will fit, but the wheels and tires will sit deep inot the wheel well, some what degrading the "big" wheel/tire look.

The rear tire IMHO is too big, not only too wide but too tall fo an FBody.

They'll fit, but you may be dissapointed.
